Manchester United kicked off their Europa League round of 16 tie against Real Sociedad with a 1–1 draw away from home.

It was a mixed bag for the British sides in the Europa League games on Thursday night. The headline result of the night might prove to be Tottenham's 1-0 loss away to AZ Alkmaar, Ange Postecoglou's last chance of winning a trophy in his second season with the club looking altogether more challenging going into the second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in seven days' time.
